City of Laramie
The city of Laramie has been an invaluable partner as we seek to grow our urban forest.

After Randy retired, City Arborist Kyle Peep jumped in and advises our board about tree selection and planting site considerations. Kyle facilitates storage for our trees between delivery and planting day, providing us water and mulch access. The Greenhill cemetery provides us a large gathering space for the logistics of planting day. Each year, Rooted in Laramie board members join with Kyle to plant trees for Arbor Day. Thank you Kyle for sharing your time and expertise with us - we are so appreciative for how the city supports our mission each year!
